Raise a Toast with Upcycled Glasses
No Diwali feast is complete without refreshing drinks—whether it’s a sparkling mocktail, a chilled glass of thandai, or a celebratory cocktail. But why serve them in ordinary glasses when you can make a statement?
Our upcycled glasses, crafted from repurposed bottles like Old Monk, Corona, or Bombay Sapphire, bring instant character to your table. Their quirky origins spark conversations, while their handcrafted polish ensures they look as premium as any designer glassware.
Pair different styles for an eclectic mix. For example, let the deep green Bombay Sapphire glasses contrast with the bold Old Monk face glasses—instantly adding a pop of color and personality to your table setting.
Every sip your guests take becomes not just about taste but about the story behind the glass—proof that beauty can be reborn from the ordinary.
Serve Stories on Upcycled Platters
A Diwali table is defined by its spread—crispy samosas, golden jalebis, spiced kebabs, and mithais that melt in the mouth. Elevate your serving game with our upcycled bottle platters.
From the Old Monk Bottle Platter to the elegant Bombay Sapphire Serving Tray, each piece is designed to be both practical and eye-catching. The smooth finish and playful shape of these platters make them perfect for presenting appetizers or sweets while hinting at their eco-friendly origins.
Create a “snacking station” by arranging multiple platters with varied treats. Surround them with diyas or fairy lights, and you’ll have a festive centerpiece that’s sustainable yet stunning.
By serving on upcycled platters, you’re not just feeding your guests—you’re feeding curiosity and appreciation for conscious living.
Protect with Purpose: Cork Coasters
As conversations flow and glasses clink, protect your table in style with our Round Cork Coasters. These coasters are minimal yet meaningful, bringing earthy warmth to your décor while ensuring surfaces stay safe from spills.
The natural texture of cork instantly softens your tablescape, grounding it in a sense of simplicity amidst all the glitter of Diwali.
Use each coaster as a little message board. Write a short poem, festive blessing, or even a guest’s name on the cork surface. Suddenly, your coaster doubles as a personalized keepsake.
Small details like these make your celebration thoughtful, intimate, and unforgettable.
Glow Sustainably with Upcycled Bottle Lamps
While food feeds the body, ambience feeds the soul. And what better way to create a magical atmosphere than with warm, inviting light? Our upcycled bottle lamps—crafted from vodka bottles, beer bottles, and more—cast a cozy glow that transforms any gathering into an experience.
Place one at the center of your table, or scatter a few across your living space. Their soft golden light beautifully complements diyas, creating a layered Diwali glow that feels modern yet rooted in tradition.
For your dining table, use smaller battery-operated bottle lamps so the lighting feels intimate but doesn’t overpower the food. For side tables or corners, go bold with larger bottle lamps to make a statement.
Each lamp isn’t just décor—it’s a symbol of transformation, reminding us that discarded objects can shine again when seen with love.
Weave Poetry into Your Tablescape
At Kavi Poetry Art, we don’t just upcycle—we infuse poetry and meaning into every product. Why not carry that philosophy into your Diwali tablescape?
Create a story corner by placing small tags or cards next to your tableware. These can share the journey of the product (“This platter was once a Bombay Sapphire bottle, now reborn to serve sweets”) or even short verses that echo the spirit of Diwali.
This not only educates your guests about upcycling but also turns your feast into an immersive, story-rich experience.
Hand your guests a coaster or glass with a poem etched on it—a little keepsake they can carry home. Your Diwali table then becomes more than just a meal; it becomes an emotional memory.
